Natural Hair Timeline

Milestones and events that shaped the culture of black [natural] hair into what it is today.

Why a timeline? Wikipedia defines a timeline as a way of displaying a list of events in chronological order often used to help with understanding the order of historical events and trends for a subject. This natural hair timeline will be a condensed version of the history of black hair. For a far better read, check out the book HairStory: Untangling the Roots of of Black Hair in America by Ayana Byrd and Lori Tharps. Also check out www.UnderstandingBlackHair.com.
